A “stupid” cannabis smoker broke into a house that had been boarded up following a police raid, hoping he was going to find leftover drugs.

The property on Huntwick Crescent in Featherstone was targeted by police on February 21, who forced entry and found more than 100 plants growing inside. The house was then boarded up after police had cleared the property, Leeds Crown Court heard. But having heard about the raid, Liam Holden then attended the property in broad daylight two days later. The landlord was contacted at around 12.

When the police arrived, he broke free again but was pursued by an officer who quickly arrested him. He repeated what he said earlier about wanting cannabis. During his police interview he gave no comments. He later admitted a single charge of dwelling burglary. Holden, of Priory Road, Featherstone, has nine previous convictions for 10 offences, including dwelling burglaries and going equipped for theft.
